About the author

Comic Book Artist. He studied pre-medicine at the University of Tennessee, and then moved to Aspen, Colorado, and later San Diego, where he taught martial arts, became an award winning water skier, and began drawing comic books. In 1994, he was hired by Top Cow Productions in Century City, California, where he was the co-creator of "Witchblade", a comic about a voluptuous female detective who fights evil with the aid of a mystical weapon that attaches itself to her arm and gives her superpowers. Turner later founded Aspen MLT, a Santa Monica publishing company that created online comic adaptations for the NBC television series "Heroes" and titles including "Fathom", a deep-sea story about a female superhero. He was also a regular cover artist for "Superman/Batman" and "The Flash". Turner's work was in demand for special editions and similar projects, and he drew covers for DC Comics' "Justice League" and Marvel's "Civil War". The milestone 500th issue of "Uncanny X-Men", released in July, 2008, featured one of Turner's special edition covers. He died of complications from chondrosarcoma, a form of bone cancer he had begun treatment for in 2000.

Well... If I had read it 10 years ago - immediately after the first part I would've enjoyed it a lot more. The protagonist ist a kid. A kid with a kiddie romance. Nah.

It's a testament to Michael Turner's skill that someone as talented as Joe Benitez can take the artistic reigns and bring the quality way down. The art for the first half of this story is beautiful, but once Benitez takes over it's just too cartoony. Without Turner's artwork supporting the been-there-done-that storytelling, Soulfire pretty much flops. The chosen one realizes his destiny and saves the world. I'd say spoiler alert, but that's what they've been telling us would happen the entire story. Zero surprises here.
